Need some Hadestown costume references for drawing (or cosplay) ?? Here you go 🌹

Hades’s Act 1 costume consists of his black pinstriped suit, usually with his long black coat and shades. Act 2 contains the same silver undershirt and black tie, but with a pinstriped vest over it. The front half of the vest is black with the thin white stripes, while the back half is plain red. If you want to include a red flower nested in the pocket of the vest, Persephone puts it on him after “Epic III” (during “Lovers’ Desire”) and he takes it off during “His Kiss, the Riot.”

He also wears two rings on his left hand: a skull ring on his index finger and his wedding ring on his fourth finger. He also has a wall tattoo on his left arm (if you’re wondering, it’s not an actual tattoo, but a painted nylon sleeve attached to Patrick’s shirt).

anything that contains the phrase “secret BBC memo reveals” intrigues me automatically ngl but I want you all to know that as far as I can gather, the facts are even better than this headline

which is to say, this was part of an initiative in the early 1970s that not only featured marginalized groups on BBC programming, but made moves towards handing them editorial control – the BBC had to approve proposals, but after that, the station’s role was primarily to provide technical resources, facilities, and copyright handling. (another notable program under this initiative featured Black teachers discussing racism in the school system, and a link to that – plus discussion of the hurdles it faced – can be found here).

the program on trans experience was aired in 1973.

The programme, featuring trans women, began: “Jokes about ‘the operation’ are all that most people know about transexualism [sic]. Tonight’s group discuss their situation in a more serious and comprehensive way, and draw attention to the many difficulties they endure”.

2: David Attenborough was a childhood hero of mine and i’m glad to see he was always a champ
